Definitions
- an apparatus for securing written information to tubular goods which have a cavity at one end.
- the apparatus consists of a closure, whereby an end cavity of a tubular good is closed.
- An elongate container is secured to the closure, such that the container extends into the end cavity when the closure is placed on the end of the tubular good.
- the written information pertaining to tubular goods is secured within the container.
- the container in turn, is protected from harm within the end cavity when the closure to which the container is secured is placed on the end of the tubular good.
- FIG. 1 is a section view of a first preferred embodiment of the invention.
- FIG. 2 is a section view of a second preferred embodiment of the invention.
- FIG. 3 is a section view of a third preferred embodiment of the invention.
- FIG. 4 is a section view of a fourth preferred embodiment of the invention.
- the alternate preferred embodiments are apparatus for securing written information to tubular goods.
- the type of tubular goods may vary greatly, however, the invention can only be used with tubular goods which have a cavity at one end.
- the alternate embodiments will be generally referred to by reference numerals 100, 200, 300, and 400, respectively.
- Preferred embodiments 100, 200, 300, and 400 all have some common components.
- Each embodiment has a closure 12 and an elongate container 14, which is secured in some fashion to closure 12.
- closure 12 is in the form of a plug.
- Elongate container 14 has one end 102 secured to closure plug 12 and a remote end 104 having an opening 106 with interior threads 108.
- a closure lid 110 with exterior threads 112 mates with interior threads 108 in opening 106 to detachably secure container 14 to closure plug 12.
- closure 12 is in the form of an end cap.
- Closure cap 12 has interior side walls 202 and an interior end wall 204.
- Interior end wall 204 has a stub projection 206 with exterior threads 208.
- Elongate container 14 has an opening 210 which has interior threads 212.
- Interior threads 212 of opening 210 matingly engage exterior threads 208 of stub 206 to removably secure container 14 to closure cap 12.
- closure 12 is in the form of a plug.
- Closure plug 12 has exterior side walls 302 with threads 304 and an exterior end wall 306.
- Exterior end wall 306 has a stub projection 308 with exterior threads 310.
- Elongate container 14 has an opening 312 with interior threads 314.
- Interior threads 314 of opening 312 matingly engage exterior threads 310 of stub 308 to removably secure container 14 to closure plug 12.
- closure 12 is in the form of a cap.
- Closure cap 12 has interior side walls 402 with threads 404, and an interior end wall 406.
- Interior end wall 406 has a stub projection 408 with an annular groove 410 in which is positioned an "O" ring seal 412.
- Elongate container 14 has an opening 414. Opening 414 matingly engages stub 408 and is secured in a friction fit relation by "O" ring seal 412 to removably secure container 14 to closure cap 12.
- FIGS. 1 through 4 For the purposes of the description reference will be made to tubular goods, generally designated by reference numeral 16 having ends 18. Four alternate configurations for end 18 are illustrated in FIGS. 1 through 4. All configurations have an end cavity 20 to which access may be obtained through end 18.
- FIG. 1 illustrates an end 18 suitable for receiving a plug.
- FIG. 2 illustrates an end 18 suitable for receiving a cap.
- FIG. 3 illustrates an end 18 with a threaded box connection.
- FIG. 4 illustrates an end 18 with a threaded pin connection 24.
- Written information (not shown) is inserted into container 14.
- container 14 is part of closure plug 12; access is gained to container 14 through opening 106 and then the written instructions are maintained in container 14 by closure lid 110.
- interior threads 212 of opening 210 matingly engage exterior threads 208 of stub 206 to removably secure container 14 to closure cap 12.
- interior threads 314 of opening 312 matingly engage exterior threads 310 of stub 308 to removably secure container 14 to closure plug 12.
- opening 414 matingly engages stub 408 and is secured in a friction fit relation by "O" ring seal 412 to removably secure container 14 to closure cap 12.
- container 14 extends into end cavity 20 when closure 12 is placed on end 18 of tubular good 16.
- embodiments 100, 200, 300, and 400 all provide a safe way for securing written information (not shown) to tubular goods 16.
- the possibility of container 14 being lost or destroyed is extremely remote, in view of the positioning of container 14 within end cavity 20.
- modifications are necessarily required to the invention to adapt closure 12 for use with varying configurations of ends 18. This difference is demonstrated in relation to the preferred embodiments illustrated in FIGS. 1 through 4. It will also be apparent that modifications may be made to the preferred embodiment without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. For example, there are a variety of ways to secure container 14 to closure 12; only three of which have been illustrated.
